Jon Gomm is a singer-songwriter and acoustic solo performer based in Yorkshire, UK, known for his once-seen-never-forgotten virtuoso guitar style. This involves slapping, tapping and retuning as he plays, producing a huge, multi-layered sound filled with bass, drums and near-orchestral depth and complexity from a single guitar.
His songs are often deeply emotive, whether with or without his soft, affecting voice. And his live performances are intimate and powerful, but always punctured by his natural North Of England wit and self-deprecation.
Emerging onto the UK folk scene with her debut album, Dwelling by the Weir, Ellie explored folklore and stories of her hometown, Warwick, through ecological, sociological, and personal themes (‘full of delicacy, precision, and gentle delight’, The Guardian).
